The Tribune

A few notes before

we get started:

• Last week on the Press Box (which you should be listening to Sundays 10am-1pm on Kiss 96.1 FM) we decided that to make things more interesting from week to week, the loser of the picks column has to undergo a predetermined death by humiliation. The Week 10 loser will be forced to eat 48 Dunkin Donut Munchkins live on air as we do the show on Sunday. Listen in to find out what we come up with for next weekend....that is if Ricardo comes out of this alive.

• I had all intentions of returning the column to business as usual this week, however The Pick Like Sannie (#PLS) strategy took me from the bottom of the pile in week nine, to the top in week 10. #PLS lives on

WEEK 11

Titans at Jaguars

RENALDO: I’m not positive what a titan is. I don’t think anyone is sure what that is. I’m still mad they’re not the Oilers anymore. The Houston Oilers made sense, this Titans thing doesn’t. In fact, the only titan from Tennessee I’m familiar with is Ric Flair.

JAGUARS over Titans

SANNIE: A friend said she likes big cats. Sounds good to me. Jags it is.

JAGUARS over Titans

Rams at Ravens

RENALDO: The Rams have given up on Nick Foles - partially because he was erratic and ineffective, partially because his name sounds like the backup quarterback from a “B” movie. Case Keenum sounds like a much better bet. His name can be anything from the loose cannon detective who plays by his own rules to the leader of a mid-90s boy band.

RAVENS over Rams

SANNIE: I chose the Ravens last week because of sentimental reasons and they let me down, not going down that road this week. Nope. It’s crunch time now.

RAMS over Ravens

Redskins at Panthers

RENALDO: As long as Cam Newton continues to rage against the machine with his horrible supporting cast, winning and dancing - I’m all in with the Panthers. Not in that order though, the dancing should come first.

PANTHERS over

Redskins

SANNIE: The Panthers are undefeated and Cam Newton is still as sexy as ever. This isn’t even a choice anymore.

PANTHERS over

Redskins

Broncos at Bears

RENALDO: There’s no way I can pick the Broncos as long as I’m unable to pronounce their backup quarterback’s last name. How is someone supposed to be the heir apparent to Peyton Manning if we can’t say his name properly. Saying Osweiler is difficult, but Cutler is easy for any accent.

BEARS over Broncos

SANNIE: I have faith in Peyton Manning, he will come through for the Broncos (I heard someone in my office say this, so I’m going to agree). This better work for me Neil!

BRONCOS over Bears

Cowboys at Dolphins

SANNIE: So I told my favourite banker that I would choose the Dolphins this week because he will be at the game. I hope you bring me luck Dwayne.

DOLPHINS over

Cowboys

RENALDO: I’m so tempted to go football on this one, but the #PLS doctrine dictates otherwise, therefore I stay the course. I just recently discovered Tony Romo is of Mexican descent which makes him the star of the “You Won’t Know We’re Hispanic Unless We Tell You” All-Stars alongside Martin Sheen, John-Marc Nutt and Carmelo Anthony.

COWBOYS over

Dolphins

Raiders at Lions

SANNIE: I can’t believe I am actually going to choose the Raiders again, but they seem to be the less terrible team in this instance, so Eddie enjoy this one.

RAIDERS over Lions

RENALDO: I’m not sure which city has had a tougher go of it over the past few decades. Oakland can never separate itself from the stigma of rampant gang culture and MC Hammer, but Detroit has tons of abandoned buildings and the Pistons drafted Darko Milicic over Carmelo Anthony. Somehow that’s worse.

LIONS over Raiders

Jets at Texans

SANNIE: This is a tough one, the birthplace of King Bey or one of my favourite places in the world. Sorry New York, the Beyhive wins!

TEXANS over Jets

RENALDO: It took eight women and nine kids before Antonio Cromartie settled down. I mean, sure it’s with Terricka Cason from Candy Girls and we have no idea what her actual job is, but she’s hot.

JETS over Texans

Colts at Falcons

RENALDO: Place your faith in a 40-old-balding quarterback if you want...not here for it. Also, I don’t want anyone related to Elizabeth Hasslebeck to be happy. Besides, the city of Atlanta is on fire right now with all the attention “dabbing” and their hip hop/dance scene is getting. I need Devonta Freeman to show us what’s next. Actually, it’s better if Matt Ryan does it.

FALCONS over Colts

SANNIE: So who wasn’t ready for all the drama on Real Housewives of Atlatna? Chall, I know I wasn’t. This season is already on fire, I am so excited.

FALCONS over Colts

Buccaneers at Eagles

SANNIE: Boy, this one is tough, but I’m going with the Bucs because my brother asked me to. All you people better not fail me, I can not deal with these new bets, too much is on the line!

RENALDO: This uniform combination always produces great games somehow. Think about it, your mind automatically went Donovan Mcnabb/Brad Johnson/Brian Westbrook/Warrick Dunn.

BUCS over Eagles

Chiefs at Chargers

RENALDO: There are two San Diegans, San Diegoans or whatever you call them, that I trust. Phillip Rivers and Ron Burgundy. Stay classy San Diego.

CHARGERS over Chiefs

SANNIE: Have all these teams been this bad all year or am I just noticing? I will go with Kansas City because Alex Smith is kind of cute.

CHIEFS over Chargers

Packers at Vikings

RENALDO: The battle of cold, depressing, somewhat obese cities is hard to get excited about. This game should always be played at a neutral location. Only John Madden gets up for this game. Well...possibly Adrian Peterson as well. Ok, I know I’m still on the #PLS wave but there’s no way the Packers lose four games in a row.

PACKERS over Vikings

SANNIE: I have to go with the Vikings on this one, only because I don’t think I have chosen them at all this season, and they actually are doing pretty well.

VIKINGS over Packers

49ers at Seahawks

SANNIE: Colin Kaepernick vs Russell Wilson? Sorry Colin, Russell will win every time.

SEAHAWKS over 49ers

RENALDO: There’s a legit possibility that Blaine Gabbert could spontaneously combust from the fear of playing against the Seahawks on the road. Unless he takes a page from the Carson Palmer book on how to handle the 12th man. To that end...

SEAHAWKS over 49ers

Bengals at Cardinals

RENALDO: Carson Palmer endeared himself forever to the entire “WWE Attitude Era” generation when he did the D-X “Suck it” celebration last week in Seattle. He was talking to the 12th man directly and homoerotic undertones set aside, it was pretty cool.

CARDINALS over Bengals

SANNIE: Wow, the Bengals streak is over. Well, I am still going to choose them and I want a Bengals fan to send me an email, I don’t think I have ever met one Bengals Fan.

BENGALS over Cardinals

Bills at Patriots

RENALDO: With the state of the world right now, with terrorism at the forefront and the Bahamas fighting its own battle against crime, a little nationalism and patriotism is something we all need.

PATS over Bills

SANNIE: Tom Brady is killing it and as long as the Patriots are undefeated I will choose them, I’m not stupid chall.
